    That’s cool. I curbed both drivers side rims this past summer in the same week so I will be buying a pair this winter for my summer tires.

    Ummmm, I don't know. I have a 2007 R56, so whatever valve cover that has. Nothing offered any serious resistance. I was actually expecting the coil packs to be a bit harder to to remove.

    I believe I mentioned this on the forum a while back when I changed the plugs, when I took the first one out, I put it in my hand... yes, it was HOT. Not hot enough to leave a mark, but enough for me to know I did something stupid.

    Not a great idea to remove plugs from a hot aluminium head either. Back in the mid 60's when I was a one striper I had an Olds F-85 with the aluminum V8. I did the same thing, but one of the plugs brought the threads with it. Six months later when I sold the car that plug was still held in the head with aircraft epoxy. I'm sure the alloys are much improved since then, but ya never know.

    People can always ship their car to West Chester, Pa, at the owners expense (both ways), and I will provide my OCD detailing expertise for a decent fee.

    I have yet to have any customers not blow away by the results I produce.

    Just put a new battery in my wife's mini. Does anyone know if it really matters if you register the battery?

    In person, it is very close. In the photo I attached, the blue greys out a little, but in person, the blue has more "pop" to it.
